There's a difference between buttes and mesas. Buttes are taller than they are wide. Mesas are wider than they are tall. In general. Mesa means table, so think of how tables look. Buttes are like barstools ... as in ... "get your butte up on that barstool!"

... Just in case you were looking for a way to remember the difference ...

I know it is still early morning by the shadows being cast. I see the La Sal Mountains are a little hazy but generally a clear day. What really makes this stand out is the contrast of the foreground with the background and the highlight patches that meander through the middle to those buttes of yours lol!
